Gurukul

India will continue to add 1 million to its workforce every month for the next 15 years, most of whom come from impoverished backgrounds. Our growing economy with a massive skill-deficit provides real opportunity for them to escape the cycle of poverty, through gainful employment but imparting livelihood training is proving to be insufficient.

The/Nudge Foundation focuses on sustainable poverty alleviation by building a strong 360-degree life, learning and economic foundation for poor in residential “Gurukuls”, along with lifelong support system. Our goal is to pull 1 million people sustainably out of poverty by 2020

Ayisha is the sole breadwinner for a family of 10, she worked at a garment factory for over 7 years earning hardly anything to support her family. She joined Gurukul in hopes of a steady career path and a better job. Now she earns twice the amount of her previous salary working at a bank and can now take care of her sisters' education.

Ayisha is one of the 500 other students we've graduated since we began our journey one year back. This year, our goal is to impact 5X students by graduating 2500.
